The Container Skill: Mindful Compartmentalization Through Visualization

In this guided, mindfulness-based course, students will learn The Container Skill—a gentle coping strategy that uses visualization to help manage overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and stress. Through step-by-step instruction, students will create two powerful internal tools: 1. A Safe Space– a mental environment designed for grounding, soothing, and emotional processing. 2. A Container– a secure, personalized mental “holding place” where students can temporarily store thoughts, feelings, or worries that are not serving them in the present moment. Led by Bee, a trauma therapist, will be your supportive teacher and guide, this course provides a compassionate blend of mindfulness, imagery, and emotional regulation techniques. Students will learn how to: * Build a vivid, comforting inner safe space * Design a mental container that feels secure, strong, and uniquely their own * Mindfully set aside intrusive or overwhelming thoughts when needed * Stay present and engaged by reducing emotional overload * Safely retrieve stored thoughts or feelings when ready * Process emotions within the safe space using grounding and reflective practices By the end of the course, students will feel empowered with a practical, repeatable coping skill that supports mental clarity, emotional balance, and mindful presence. This course is suitable for anyone looking to strengthen their emotional regulation toolkit or deepen their mindfulness practice.
